Note that the conversion from LE to CPU order was le16_to_cpu() rather than the correct cpu_to_le16. The definition of FillH2CCmd_88E() is revised, and the proper conversion routine is used. Note that the original code performed one byte swap on the secong argument of FillH2CCmd_88E(), and got the correct answer even though the semantics were very wrong.
